McCoy's 5A

McCoy's 5A medium was designed by Thomas McCoy and others in 1959. It was originally used specifically for the culture of Novikoff Hepatoma cells. McCoy's 5A medium is a modified Basal Medium 5A. Unlike other culture media, McCoy's 5A contains reduced glutathione, bacterial peptone, and a high concentration of glucose. McCoy's 5A is widely used for the culture of various types of primary cells, such as bone marrow, skin, gums, kidneys, spleen, lungs, rat embryos, omentum, etc. In addition, McCoy's 5A medium is also used for tissue biopsy culture, cell line establishment, and the culture of some lymphocytes and cells that are difficult to culture.
